Lucas was speechless for a second. He really didn't know how to react. He had complete trust in Peyton, and he knew that she loves him, but he just didn't know what to say next.

"What happened next?" Peyton was hoping that Lucas wouldn't ask her that question.

"I told him that I love you, and only you, and that I no longer love him, but…" Peyton couldn't say the last part. She just couldn't find the words.

"But what Peyt? You can tell me babe, you know that. I don't care what it is. I promise you that I will be able to deal with it."

Peyton hesitated for a second, but then Lucas looked deep into her eyes, and she knew that she had to tell him the truth.

"He kissed me Luke." Lucas was clearly angry by this. He was about to blow up, but Peyton cut him off.

"But I pulled away and slapped him. Then I told him that we can't even be friends anymore. Luke, I just can't be around him anymore. I can't believe that he would do this."

Lucas could tell that this had upset Peyton just as much as it had upset him. He then pulled her into his arms, kissed her on the top of the head, and held her for comfort.

"Peyt, it's o.k. I know that you love me, and I love you too. I don't understand why Jake would do this either, but we can get through this together. I'm sure that we can still try to be friends with him. We can make this work babe. It will be fine."

"Aren't you mad though Luke? I mean, he kissed me."

"Of course I'm mad Peyt. The only person that should be kissing you is me, but you told me not to freak out, so I am staying calm for you. We need to be rational about this Peyt."

"This is why I love you Luke. You always make me feel better. I could just lay here in your arms forever."

"And I could hold you in my arms forever. There is no place I'd rather be than right here with you. Now, let's head back to your apartment." Lucas gave Peyton a flirtatious smile.

Lucas and Peyton then went back to Peyton's apartment and made love for hours, not once thinking about what happened with Jake earlier in the day. All that was important to them was being together again.
